I have to agree with you on this one. One should not back up temp or cache directories anyway. Its a waste of backup time and space. There are list and regex include and exclude options in duplicity already, so use those to exclude the temp and cache directories completely, as well as /proc and /dev or any other synthetic directory. I would mark this as "Will Not Implement". Use whatever is equivalent. ...Ken -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
